When having a glass of wine with your dinner, you want to make sure it\u2019s the best pairing possible to get to achieve an optimal flavour combination. A bad food and wine pairing can risk leaving a bitter taste in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve decided to create a cheat sheet of food and wine pairings you really can\u2019t go wrong with. We will be working our way through our ranges, up next\u2026<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Takeaway: Fish and chips
You can\u2019t get a better pairing than fish and chips with a cold, crisp glass of cava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The acidity and citrus notes of our cava will cut through the fried batter in the fish, creating a magical food and wine pairing. Ditch the slice of lemon and just have our cava instead \u2013 with all the zippiness in the wine, you\u2019ll get the same lemony flavour but with added bubbles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The homemade dish: French toast or Pancakes
Who doesn\u2019t love brunch? Cava really does compliment a creamy dish too, and so plate of fluffy pancakes or french toast topped off with butter is the perfect combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to avoid having berries and instead stick with a creamier topping, such as butter, a savoury sauce or nuts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light dinner: Tapas
Of course, we couldn\u2019t forget the ultimate cava pairing \u2013 tapas! You may have heard the saying \u2018what grows together, goes together\u2019 and this is a great reminder when pairing your food and wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cava is a Spanish wine, and so naturally Spanish tapas is an easy and delightful choice. Keep it classic with Spanish tortilla, patatas bravas, grilled fish, and maybe even some padron peppers.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
